CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-There must be a
marked absence of coleric in the at
moSphere of Chicago when the divorce
industry is not up to the notch, COM
mercially speaking. The demand for
this modern essential to true happiness
was twice as strong as was the
supply. A number of lawyers who
make divorce their specially, it is said,
owing to the tendency to bull the mar
ket, have pooled their issues and di-
vorceS can be obtained upon the INSTALL
ment plan; that is to say, the divorces
proper are not obtained in this manner,
but the lawyers fees are paid thusly.
A statute recently passed, having the
protection of Chicago'S leading indus
try we'll in view, makes all unpaid fees
thus incurred charge upon the prop
erty of the husbands which follow. To
day there were 100 applications for di-
VorceS before the court and it was not a
good day for divorces either. The five
judges, Shepard, Garnett, Jamison, Col
Inns and Horton took the matter well in
hand but their heroic efforts succeeded
in granting only fifty divorces. Here
after the clerks and bailiffS of these di-
vorce mills will be called in requisitiOn
and each man there
WILL HAVE FULL POWER
to grant divorces which will have the
word ''Chicago'' stamped upon them as
test of their absolute genuineness.

Frank w. Doud had wife and three
children when he married Sophia. He
had overlooked this little circumstance,
but Judge Horton promptly divorced
the couple. Benjamin II. Lanpher, a
Wagner sleeping car emplOye, married
Annie Barton in Cincinnati in
and this, together with his other
acts of cruelty was enough to give
Annie what she wanted. The most in
teresting case before Judge Collins was
that of Lena Struevy against John, her
husband, who was arrested for attempt
ing to shoot George Kuhl because he
was playing assistant husband TO his
wife. John had filed suit before the
fuSilade of Kuhl took place and let the
matter drop. Mrs. Struevy. however,

grounds for divorce by Salvador

North Reading, Mass, away back in

Jennie Woolley stated that Joseph

this entitled her to a divorce. Mary
